Welcome to 2025! The new year is here, and Bluffton’s real estate market is off to a shining start, reminding us all why this Lowcountry gem continues to be such a sought-after place to call home. With its undeniable charm, vibrant community, and strong market dynamics, Bluffton is proving once again that it’s the place to be.
Here’s our spin on what’s happening in Bluffton’s vibrant real estate market:
Why We Love Bluffton
Bluffton isn’t just a place—it’s a lifestyle. Nestled along the May River, this charming town is known for its picturesque oak-lined streets, historic Old Town, and a laid-back vibe that’s truly unmatched. Whether you’re strolling through the weekly farmers' market, kayaking the winding waterways, or enjoying a glass of sweet tea on your porch, Bluffton has a way of making you feel at home. It’s no wonder so many people are drawn to this little slice of paradise!
Bluffton also offers a perfect balance of small-town charm and modern conveniences. From boutique shops and world-class restaurants to top-rated schools and easy access to Hilton Head’s beaches, this town truly has it all. And let’s not forget the vibrant sense of community that makes Bluffton a place where neighbors become friends.
Low Inventory, High Demand
Even with historically low inventory levels, the market is showing encouraging signs of growth. As of December 2024, 789 homes were listed for sale—an impressive 10.8% increase from the same time last year. But don’t be fooled; this is still far from the 1,100+ homes we saw pre-pandemic. This tighter inventory is keeping Bluffton firmly in a seller’s market, and it’s not likely to change anytime soon.
Homes Are Selling Fast
If you’ve been thinking about selling, now might just be the perfect time! Properties are flying off the market in just 48 days on average—down from 69 days last month. To put it in perspective, pre-pandemic homes took nearly twice as long to sell. This fast-paced activity highlights the fierce demand and competition among buyers eager to secure their own slice of Bluffton paradise.
Rising Prices Are the Star of the Show
The median home sales price climbed to $564,392 in December, up from $555,000 in November—a significant 4.52% increase from this time last year. It’s a testament to the robust activity and confidence we’re seeing in the market, even during an election year.
A Record-Breaking Year for Sales
Bluffton wrapped up 2024 with 1,674 closed sales—just edging out the 1,672 sales from the previous year. This consistency is remarkable, especially given the challenges that often accompany election years. With about five months of inventory currently available, the market remains balanced and vibrant.
Looking Ahead
As we move further into 2025, all signs point to another extraordinary year for Bluffton real estate. With interest rates stabilizing and market conditions strong, there’s ample opportunity for both buyers and sellers to achieve their real estate goals. Whether you’re looking for your dream home, thinking about selling, or simply curious about what’s happening in the market, now is a great time to explore your options.
Bluffton isn’t just holding steady—it’s thriving. The energy, growth, and potential we’re seeing are reasons to feel optimistic and excited for what’s to come.
